Mommy Kisses

I wish we could all live in a world where Mommy kisses will make our worst "owies" better. I love that for now my little-tough guy does live in that world. He was playing with some neighborhood kids outside when he skinned his knee pretty good. He didn't cry. He just called out for me and said he needed me to kiss it better. He looked at his wrist that was also a bit skinned up and kissed his wrist better himself. He needed the Mommy kiss though for his knee. It made me feel good to know the Mommy kiss has power for him, and his believing it does, is powerful to me. I love living life through a child's eyes where the future is bright and untainted and tomorrow holds endless possibilities. Mommy kisses really do make owies better, which must mean that the future really is bright and tomorrow really does hold endless possibilities. Thank goodness for Mommy Kisses!
